While nothing is wrong with a warm welcome, I feel as a portfolio cover, it's important to represent who you are as a graphic designer with your portfolio cover. It's like packaging for your own brand, and you don't want to miscommunicate to visitors with your take of pastel and prettiness, that that's what you're all about. It's the same concept I've learned with film, you don't want a film poster or cover to look comedic if the film is actually a serious drama. Viewers will be annoyed and feel tricked when they get past the cover and find it's not at all what they expected. So if you're really a hardcore graffiti type, show that from the get-go. Otherwise you might lose out of possible clients who may not check out more of your work because they've written you off as someone who does more light (in color and tone) work, and they're looking for hardcore, or someone who's looking for that sort of pastel bliss, will be a slight bit disappointed to find that your work is actually more hardcore.  That's just my opinion though, I'm not expert, and the above might not hold true for everyone but, just thought I'd share my 2 cents. And because I just realized I forgot to mention the actual graphic here... I do really like it! The 3D is cool, and because designing 3D graphics is something a lot of designers can't/don't do, it shows off a special skill that you have over many other designers and 3D always looks bold, modern, and impressive I think! |

yeh cheers for the comment susanna! i decided not to go for it for exactly the reasons you mentioned here. check out my pdf portfolio on my site and ull see the new design.

And I also think it's good to show a range of styles (it's like muscians, if you ever have watched "American Idol" or something such as that, notice the judges always go nuts over singers with good vocal range! Range is important in a lot of arts), and I think it's great if you showed a couple/few graphics like the one in this thread inside your portfolio, to show that is also a style you can do, but not as a portfolio cover, since that's not your usual look. But you already figured that out on your own, so I'm really just wasting space rambling now!  |
